This temporary membership allows for up to 10 days of sailing, with the first 3 days being free and the following 7 days costing $10 AUD per day. SailPass includes insurance coverage and access to club facilities.
Limited crewing opportunities are also available, and interested individuals can contact the club to be connected with skippers.
Coffs Harbour Yacht Club is also accredited as a Discover Sailing Centre. They offer Start Sailing 1 and Start Sailing 2 Dinghy Courses, as well as Discover Sailing Experiences in dinghies.

All courses use club boats and equipment, making it a cost-effective way to learn to sail and experience the sport of sailing.
